How does the ocean influence climate?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.</span>

What is the displacement of the runner in 4 laps? *<br> 2 point

Serhud [2]

Answer:

There is no displacement.

Explanation:

Because the runner is running laps and returning to the original place, there is no displacement as displacement is relative to the change in location from the original position.

A parallel-plate capacitor in air has a plate separation of 1.76 cm and a plate area of

Monica [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Plate separation, d = 1.76 cm = 0.0176 m

Area of plates, A = 25 cm^2 = 0.0025 m^2

V = 255 V

(a) Capacitance of capacitor

$C = \frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}$

$C = \frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 0.0025}{0.0176}$

C = 1.258 x 10^-12 F

charge is same before and after immersion as the battery is disconnected

q = C V

q = 1.258 x 10^-12 x 255 = 3.2 x 10^-10 C

(b)

Capacitance before, C = 1.258 x 10^-12 C

capacitance after, C' = k x C = 80 x 1.258 x 10^-12 = 100.64 x 10^-12 C

Where, k is the dielectric constant of water = 80

Potential difference after immersion, V' = V / k = 255 / 80 = 3.1875 V

$U = \frac{q^{2}}{2C}$

$U = \frac{(3.2\times 10^{-10})^{2}}{2\times 1.258\times 10^{-12 }}=4.07\times 10^{-8}J$

Final energy

$U' = \frac{q^{2}}{2C'}$

$U' = \frac{(3.2\times 10^{-10})^{2}}{2\times 100.64\times 10^{-12}}=5.08\times 10^{-10}J$

mass of the planet is 12 times that of earth and its radius is thrice that of earth , then find the escape velocity on that plan

Over [174]

Answer:

The escape velocity on the planet is approximately 178.976 km/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity for Earth is therefore given as follows

The formula for escape velocity, $v_e$ , for the planet is $v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot m}{r} }$

Where;

$v_e$ = The escape velocity on the planet

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

m = The mass of the planet = 12 × The mass of Earth, $M_E$

r = The radius of the planet = 3 × The radius of Earth, $R_E$

The escape velocity for Earth, $v_e_E$ , is therefore given as follows;

$v_e_E = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot M_E}{R_E} }$

$\therefore v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times G \times 12 \times M}{3 \times R} } = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times G \times 4 \times M}{R} } = 16 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times G \times M}{R} } = 16 \times v_e_E$

$v_e$ = 16 × $v_e_E$

Given that the escape velocity for Earth, $v_e_E$ ≈ 11,186 m/s, we have;

The escape velocity on the planet = $v_e$ ≈ 16 × 11,186 ≈ 178976 m/s ≈ 178.976 km/s.
